### 3.6 CRL-retrieval reply

A CRL-retrieval reply is an RFC 1421 CRL-type privacy-enhanced message containing retrieved CRLs, their certification paths to the RFC 1422 Internet certification authority, and possibly other certificates.

Since the reply is an ordinary privacy-enhanced message, the retrieved CRLs can be inserted into the requestor's database during normal privacy-enhanced mail processing. The requestor can forward the reply to other requestors to disseminate the CRLs.

Example:

       To: requestor@host.domain
       From: cert-service@ca.domain

       -----BEGIN PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
       Proc-Type: 4,CRL
       CRL: <issuer's latest CRL>
       Originator-Certificate: <issuer's certificate>
       CRL: <other issuer's latest CRL>
       Originator-Certificate: <other issuer's certificate>
       -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
